  1. Hail and well met, all, As I was sole entrant in the June Challenge and several chats with Double C, I am posting the July Challenge for all to see. While DoubleC and I spoke of doing a lacing challenge of some sort, I am thinking that tis time for a Masquerade Ball, after such a period challenge June had. So the idea is to make a Mask of Leather you might where to a Masquerade Party. It can be any style or theme you like but must be of leather cover at least one eye and some portion of the face. This means it can be from a Phantom of the Opera half Mask, to a Lone Ranger, to a full face. What do ya think?
  2. So ends the June Challenge. One entrant lifted the gauntlet cast upon the field and accepted. Therefore, I believe tis my right to cast the next Gauntlet. Look for July Challenge in the Forums!
  3. Where is all the other work? How about the commentary? Nothing? Listens to the crickets chirping.

  17. Hope this day finds ye warm, dry and happy! As you might detect from the opening, I enjoy Faire and all things medieval. Aside from western and Saddle making, I have tried most anything in Leather, from art to Steam punk, clothing to Door panels on a truck. Been working in Leather about 5 years and enjoy it a lot. I am often available in the chat room and interested in learning new things, meeting new people and sharing my knowledge, so look me up there if you like!
